A new provision was inserted requiring public authorities to notify account holders before disconnecting service for unpaid tolls, and any penalties collected without this notice are now void.

The bill's procedural status changed from being committed to a committee to being discharged from the committee and amended, while the substantive scope of the law remains focused on toll collection notices.

Added a clause stating the bill was discharged from the Committee on Transportation, amended, and recommitted, reflecting its progress in the legislative process.
REQUIREMENT
Added a requirement that public authorities must provide written notice of service disconnection to account holders before or at the same time as issuing a liability notice.
ENFORCEMENT
Added an enforcement mechanism stating that any surcharges, fees, or penalties collected after a disconnection without prior notice are automatically null and void.
